Hi,
Add up the wattage of everything you wish to use. Get a small psw unit. 300 watts will be fine
The fridge draws 325 watts--so if you wish to power it, too, get a 600 watt pure sine wave inverter.
A 300 watt inverter running flat out will draw about 30 amps. 600 will be double that amount.
With that small a battery bank I would not attempt to run the fridge unless you are trundling down the road.
Assuming the reference to trundling is that the Alt will be constantly charging the batteries. likewise with shore power. I don't plan on boondocking - not something we really do - but more to simply avoid running the gen just to turn on the TV.
